Spice up a plain apron

So I have been looking at this blank canvas for at least a year. I thought these aprons would be great for me to wear around the shop, but this Plain Jane was just not doing it for me. So I washed & dryed it & hung it on my peg board....for nearly a year! I would take it down & look at it & think...what can I do?

I knew that my name had to be across the bib, but then what? That's where I was stuck.

I have to also give a shout out to Alex Anderson for her EASY to follow prairie point tutorial. I would never have tried them, had they looked harder than this 2 page tutorial. I even did a double layer it was so easy; Thanks!

I know that large patchwork heart pocket will be handy at quilt shows too!

Wonderful combination, with the block pocket, the embroidery and the Prairie points...and aren't they fun? I've used them on several different projects over the years. You're gonna look real spiffy now.
